Although it is a superstar, Messi is very low-key in his personal life.
Before the media exposure, Messi followed Ronaldinho and set up his home in Castel de Fels, about 30 kilometers southwest of Barcelona. This coastal city is the best beach city in Europe. Many countless wealthy people choose their villas and villas here.
But actually, even if you go to this town to ask, no one can tell you exactly where Messi ’s home is.
Because his hometown in Argentina was once visited by thieves, Messi has always attached great importance to the protection of his home, not only hired professional security, but also a series of security measures to protect the safety of the villa.
Like all star villas, Messi ’s home is on a hilltop, a bit far from the bustling seaside, but you can overlook the beautiful beach, the air is very good, surrounded by green trees, swimming pools, gyms and other facilities, the most The important thing is that it is very quiet and will not be disturbed.
Everyone needs a haven, home, is Messi's haven.
But it is obvious that this sheltered port may not always be useful, especially when it comes to troubles and difficulties.
Sat on the rattan chair of the mansion's huā garden, facing the huā garden in front of him, Messi did not have the peace of mind in the past, but became frowning, unable to help, and Jorge sitting opposite him was also worried.
"I can't go to Manchester!"
After a long silence, Messi finally broke the silence and said a very decisive word.
"Man City can't even participate in the Champions League. Look at the game they were previously defeated by Liverpool 0: 3. I don't think there is any future for such a team. They have shown a mess. They have not played against Chelsea or Manchester United. Competitive, even Eto'o will not stay, I will not go! "
Father Jorge also had a headache in his face, but he also knew very well. Players are very passive when facing this situation.
"They are now heavily in debt, and they have reached the point where they have to sell players to continue to maintain, but the news has been released since last year. Until now, more than a month has passed, and there is no response at all. The only one who is interested in you The team is Manchester City. "Speaking of which, Jorge had a helpless smile on his face.
Messi's biggest obstacle is not because of his lack of strength, on the contrary, it is his strong competitive strength.
Messi level players, Barcelona will not let go of this baby easily. The price is too low to convince them, the price is high, which team in football today can have so much money to introduce Messi?
If you analyze carefully, Serie A Messi is unlikely to go because Serie A's defensive style is what Messi should be afraid of, and the Premier League has a lot of rich teams, but there are teams that are really willing to pay for Messi. How many?
Chelsea indented the money, Manchester United has never invested so much money to introduce superstars. Ferguson is in control, Arsenal has no money and Liverpool is not short of people. And the Red Army is now taking a healthy business route. In the end, it was discovered that the Premier League's so-called money is actually only the Abu Dhabi consortium in Manchester City.
The influence of the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 is very limited. Messi is unlikely to transfer to that kind of league. In the end, he suddenly discovered that the team with the introduction of Messi is actually only a handful.
"What about Real Madrid?" Messi looked at his father.
Jorge froze slightly, shook his head and smiled wryly. "There is no movement, although there has always been news in the transfer market that Florentino wants to introduce you, but in fact, Barcelona has not received even one consultation from Real Madrid so far, and you should know. Real Madrid and Barcelona ’s relationship, this kind of thing is the key for both sides to consider! "
These are two rival teams, although there have been some mutual aids, the situation is different from the past.
Today ’s Real Madrid has been glorious for many years in a row, and Barcelona has been weak year after year. Barcelona fans have been very dissatisfied with this situation. If they sell the team ’s top star to Real Madrid in this case, the fans will be crazy. Yes, so when dealing with such matters, Barcelona ’s board of directors has always been very cautious.
"Do you really want to transfer to Real Madrid?" Jorge asked, looking at his son.
Messi smiled helplessly, got up from the rattan chair, and walked far away, looking at the Mediterranean Sea in the distance, very distant, with a little haze, as if the distance is constantly changing, a bit like he is now with Barcelona Same distance.
"I used to think about playing in Barcelona until I retire, but now, even if I want, they won't be willing, won't they?" Messi turned back, looking at his father with a little helplessness.
Jorge nodded. Do n’t look at Messi ’s height and age. He always gave the feeling of a simple boy next door, but in fact he was not stupid at all. On the contrary, he was very smart, he It is clear what the current situation is.
Sometimes professional football is like this. If Barcelona goes smoothly, he will play in Barcelona until he retires. It is a good thing, but unfortunately, Barcelona encounters difficulties and urgently needs to sell people in exchange for cash to pay debts. Messi bears the brunt of the stars.
In this case, Messi ’s best loyalty to Barcelona is not to leave the team but to leave!
Besides, many things for professional players are involuntarily, and it is really troublesome to the last point, no one will be willing. Instead of this, it is better to look away, gather together, and leave one for the future. Back road.
Since I want to go, I can take the initiative to have a certain voice in the choice of the new owner. Moreover, Messi himself is very clear that he is really hungry and does not choose to eat. His situation will be more difficult than now!
"If you really go to Real Madrid, you will definitely become a traitor in the eyes of Barcelona fans, as if it was Figo at that time!" Jorge sighed, the grudge between Real Madrid and Barcelona, he has seen clearly all these years Chu.
"The situation is different. Father, the fans are not stupid, they will understand!" Messi raised his lips slightly, his smiling expression looked full of wisdom, not like his usual image at all.
"But the problem is that Real Madrid doesn't seem to be interested in introducing you now?" Jorge frowned.
Messi bowed his head slightly, with a tone that he was not even sure of himself. "Maybe they are waiting for the best time!"
Jorge looked at his son. Dwarf is very short, but I do n’t know why, but it feels very big. Their family is supported by Messi playing football. He is now the backbone of the family, and the whole family has to rely on him, so there is a lot of pressure.
In fact, many people look at the surface of the stars, but secretly they are all like ordinary people. Playing football for them is a job to support their families. They must consider for themselves and their families' future livelihoods.
Thinking of this, Jorge sighed deeply. "There are many stars in the Real Madrid team. Although there is Yang Cheng, the competition is very fierce. It has been reported that Real Madrid's internal competition has reached a cruel point. If you go, you will definitely be hit by a huge impact, and you may not be able to be like in Barcelona. Enjoy the core position. "
"I heard people say, my father, in 〖Zhong〗 there is an old saying, Ning ** head, not Phoenix tail, but the question is, chicken or chicken, Phoenix is always Phoenix, maybe a team like Manchester City can continue to let me Act as the core and play the absolute main role. Enjoy the privileges and superiority that Real Madrid cannot give, but the problem is, my father, in Real Madrid, I really have the opportunity to stay in the history! "
"Furthermore, Cristiano? Is Ronaldo strong? Is Kaka great? David? Is Silva really that magical? I absolutely do n’t believe I ca n’t compete with them. If it really makes me choose , I am not just going to Real Madrid, I also have to play the main role in Real Madrid to become the most dazzling gem in this team lineup, so as to show strength! "
When Messi said, his face was full of self-confidence, also full of high-spirited fighting spirit.
Of course, what he said is possible, it is assumed that everything is still unfinished, but he must have a thorough understanding with his father, because he ca n’t come forward in person for many things, and must be handled by his father as a broker. , So he must tell his father the most true thoughts in his heart.
If these words spread, it will surely cause indignation and even attacks from fans all over the world, thinking that Messi is about to betray Barcelona, but Messi himself does not think so, at least he will not collude with Real Madrid to pressure Barcelona. He will do his best to use his transfer to fight for Barcelona's best interests. This is his return to Barcelona.
Of course, there are some words that cannot be spoken to outsiders, so the player's agent talents will be so important. Many players choose their most trusted friends, even their loved ones, for this reason.
"Relax, I know how to do it!" Jorge replied, and he was already determined to be a bad guy.
Every transfer must have a person to be a traitor to withstand the bombardment of the gunfire, this person is often the agent.
"Thank you, father!" Messi said gratefully.
"I also hope you can have a good development, you are my son!" Jorge said sincerely.
For Messi, he is willing to do anything, even if it is the object of criticism from Barcelona fans.

…………
At the age of 12, he entered Lamacia Youth Camp. Iniesta always regarded himself as a Barcelona.
Many people go to his house, they will laugh and say that this is a miniature Barcelona museum, but in fact, he is not a native Catalan, he is a Castilla, from Albacete, It is near Valencia.
When he was very young, he showed extraordinary strength in the region. His father was a fan of Athletic Bilbao, making Iniesta trained in football from an early age, and performed well, attracting Real Madrid and Barcelona scouts are concerned.
But for Iniesta, who only liked Albacete at the time, Real Madrid and Barcelona were not his favorite teams, but they were his best development platform, but because Real Madrid ’s youth training camp was adjacent to the Red Light District. Parents were afraid that he would be bad at school, so he gave up the idea of sending him to the capital and sent it to Barcelona.
As early as the beginning of the century, when Iniesta did not get the opportunity in Barcelona, there were many news of transfers. Among them, the most popular transfer place in Iniesta was Real Madrid, just for various reasons. Eventually, the transfer did not proceed as expected, and finally led to a natural setback.
Now Iniesta stands out in Barcelona, becoming the team's midfield dual-core, has become a fan favorite, but even so. He also had a relationship with Real Madrid again.
The rumors in the transfer market are always false and true, true and false. These are common things.
Iniesta's position in Barcelona continues to improve, but to be honest, it is still not as good as some local players. Since he entered the first team, until the end of the 2008 European Cup, his salary is always only 1.8 million euros. After renewing the contract in 2008, it rose to 3.6 million. In 2010, La Porta prepared to participate in politics after leaving the club and renewed the contract with many players. Iniesta's annual salary increased to 7 million euros.
Although it is 7 million euros, in fact, the fixed annual salary is only 5 million euros, and 2 million is a floating salary. It depends on Iniesta's performance and the team's championship. In the past few years, it is good to get half of the 2 million euros. After all, the overall performance of the team is not good.
Whether it is Pique or Valdes. Their salary is also a fixed salary of 5 million euros, plus floating income, and Pique has also received the courtesy of the club. The team actively contacted him for a lot of advertising and commercial activities in the Catalan region. His annual income is much higher than Iniesta.
Valdes's salary after renewal is the same as Iniesta, both of them are in the same file, but this guy shouted before the renewal of an annual salary of 9 million euros, and finally turned into a salary structure of 500 + 200 The salary of Harvey is 600 + 150, which is a little higher than Iniesta. Messi is the highest with a fixed salary of 12 million.
When Ibrahimovic came to Real Madrid, his salary exceeded Messi, and then Fabregas came, also 500 + 150, Puyol also 500 + 200. This makes Iniesta always in the middle and upper reaches of the salary structure of this team.
But it is precisely because of Laporta ’s massive renewal in the 09/10 season, he smashed the player ’s ass, but left a **** debt to Russell, but even so, Russell still Torres paid a fixed annual salary of 10 million euros and a floating annual salary of 2 million euros.
These things have always made Iniesta's father Jose? Iniesta was very dissatisfied. He was Xiaobai's agent. He thought his son did not get enough attention in the club, so when Barcelona reported that it might be possible to use the sale of players to reverse the club's financial crisis, Jose immediately Stepped out and announced not to exclude transfers.
Can be said to transfer, and where to transfer is also a knowledge.
"In your style, it is best to stay in Spain!" Jose? Iniesta suggested.
"Stay in Spain?" Iniesta was surprised. At present, Spain has two teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid. If you really want to stay, does it mean that he wants to switch to Real Madrid?
Jose nodded. "They called me before and invited me to Madrid and his party in secret. I want to ask for your opinion. After all, the situation there doesn't need to be talked about, and you are very familiar with it."
Real Madrid, the team with the most superstars on earth, is also the most competitive team, gathering 11 of the world's most top-notch superstars, and even sitting on the bench are first-class stars, such a team It is conceivable how competitive the team is.
Really transferred to Real Madrid, it means that to meet the huge challenges and brutal competition, with Iniesta's strength, transfer to other teams, he can easily hit the center of the midfield, only Going to Real Madrid, he can only fight with all his competitors.
"Now there are two places in the transfer market that can afford the money, the Premier League and Real Madrid, of which the Premier League is more interested in you. Manchester City, if there is no accident, I am afraid it will be difficult to buy other buyers. . "
The current football environment is not ideal. Any club has to be cautious about money, especially the big clubs. With Iniesta ’s value and salary, there are not many affordable teams. Now they are experiencing economic crisis. All clubs are operating cautiously, and many people are discouraged.
Only Manchester City and Real Madrid, the former backed by the Abu Dhabi consortium, squandered large sums of silver dollars, attracted outstanding players to join, Real Madrid is different, the latter is well-managed, the club has a good record, the hands With a lot of cash, it is waiting to seduce the world's most outstanding players to join.
"Shall I go to Madrid?" Jose asked.
Iniesta was a little bit uneasy, and nodded, "Go and see!" After he finished, he sighed again.
He was a bit worried. Leaving Spain may cause his status in the national team to be affected. It seems that Fabregas went to the Premier League. After his style changed, now in Barcelona and the national team are not very favored.
Moreover, Iniesta is relatively short, technical players have gone to the Premier League, whether they can adapt is also a big problem.
Although the Real Madrid team is full of stars, but Iniesta has confidence in his strength, he really wants to kill a **** road from this group of superstars to prove his strength, and this team in the past The glory achieved in the past few years cannot be rejected by any professional player.
"Father!" Iniesta said, thinking of something.
"You said!" Jose answered.
"In any case, you can't cooperate with Real Madrid and put pressure on Barcelona. I don't want to be a betrayal. After all ... this team cultivated me. I hope to help him out of the quagmire through my transfer. . "
Jose patted his son on the shoulder, nodded and promised "rest assured, I know how to do it!" (To be continued)
